Tuesday morning’s “act of targeted violence” at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas is one of many that have taken place during both Trump administrations at the hands of left-wing agitators. 

“Early evidence that we’ve seen from rounds that were found near the suspected shooter contain messages that are anti-ICE in nature,” said FBI special agent in charge of the Dallas Field Office Joseph Rothrock in a press conference. 

Later, FBI Director Kash Patel posted a photo of shell casings allegedly found in the proximity of the shooter, one of which appears to have “ANTI-ICE” written on it in ink. 

Five rounds, one of which says "Anti-ICE" in blue letters on it.

FBI Director Kash Patel said investigators recovered these rounds from the scene in Dallas where a gunman opened fire on the local ICE field office.  (FBI)

Spronsen, a member of the Puget Sound chapter of the John Brown Gun Club, attempted to blow up an ICE facility by setting cars on fire on the property and tossing Molotov cocktails.

He was killed by agents as he attempted to ignite a propane container.

Van Spronsen was remembered by the Seattle area Antifa community as a “good friend and comrade” who “became a martyr who gave his life to the struggle against fascism.”

In a manifesto left behind before his death, he wrote: “I am Antifa.”
